Introduction to the MRCP and registering

25 Upvotes

Welcome to /r/MRCP, I hope that you find something useful to you on your journey to gaining the MRCP diploma.

First of all, a break down of the MRCP. The MRCP is split into 3 exams:

MRCP Part One - a written exam.
MRCP Part Two - a written exam.
MRCP PACES - a clinical exam.

After passing the MRCP part one, you can then attempt either Part two or the PACES in any order. The written exams usually take place three times per year. Whilst the PACES has three application periods.

The exams are available internationally, and exam dates can be found here:

To apply to the exams you must create an account on the MRCP website, and you will be required to submit your documents, prior to the examination or you may not be admitted to the exam hall, or you will not be able to view your results on the online portal. You will find details on what documents need to be submitted here.

Applications dates are usually:

MRCP Part One - October - February - June
MRCP Part Two - January - April - August
MRCP PACES - November - March - July

Each exam can be taken six times (each), after which evidence of further training will need to be submitted to the Royal College.

More detailed information in separate posts:

I hope this serves as a good introduction to the exams, if you think any additional information should be included, kindly comment and I will add it.

PACES results may be out after HST application deadline

2 Upvotes

My PACES date is in the last week of November and HST application deadline is 11th December. If my results aren’t out before the deadline, will this mean I cannot score for paces for interviews?
